The 44-year-old model shared on the newest episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast that she sought medical advice after suffering with frequent headaches. “I noticed that it was kinda, like, after I would eat certain foods. I don’t know if it was, like, high in salts or something because I don’t eat bad,” she explained, noting that she follows a healthy diet because she’s “trying so hard to just rewind all the … drug-induced trauma I did to my body, and alcohol trauma I did to my body growing up.”
Bunnie, who is married to Grammy-nominated star Jelly Roll, revealed that a TikTok a friend sent to her about aneurysms gave her a “panic attack,” which prompted her to reach out to her doctor at 2 a.m. to book an MRI. “My mom had an aneurysm, and it ruptured. And she almost died,” she explained of her history with the blood vessel condition.
When she received the results, Bunnie said she was told that “they might have found an aneurysm on your carotid artery,” adding that the news was “one of my biggest fears coming to fruition.”
She continued, “There was just so many things that went through my mind. And I instantly just hit my knees and started praying. I bawled my eyes out. I cried so hard, I pulled a muscle in my neck. I cried for three days.”
She ultimately went for another scan, which led to a diagnosis of a “two-millimeter aneurysm on your carotid artery,” which are the arteries located on the sides of the neck. However, Bunnie sought another opinion and went to a neurologist, who told her that it actually wasn’t an aneurysm.

“He said, ‘I wish you had an aneurysm so I could fix your headaches.’ And I was just like, ’Hey, homie. Slow your roll.’ I was like, ‘I’m good,'” she recalled. The podcaster then went to a vascular surgeon, who confirmed that she didn’t have an aneurysm.
She explained that the doctor told her, “‘I am clearing you.’ He said, ‘It’s a blood vessel that matches on the other side of your carotid artery on the other end.’ And he said, ‘This was just one of these things where I get to deliver good news.’ He said, ‘If you wanna go play tackle football, you can.’ ”
Bunnie has since found a silver lining from the difficult situation. “It made me appreciate life so much. And, like, I know it sounds dramatic, but … it just really made me realize that, like, none of this s— f—ing matters, man,” she shared. “Family and the people that you love and the people that you surround yourself with every day is all that f—ing matters, dude. I snuggled up so much to my husband these past few days.”
